and surgically enhanced pouty lips asked to meet my St Bernard dog and take her picture. I said NO. If you dont share my values of common decency, I will not share my St Bernard with you. I protect my dogs from cruelty.

.[MAGAs have never] given a crap about what Trump is or has been. Its all about the policies that we want instituted.

(27,101 posts)If they can't see what he is by now, they most likely never will. His supporters are clearly impervious to truth or facts; only their own "alternative facts" (aka lies) sink into their cranial cavities.
A couple months ago, I was coming out of the local post office, and saw a man coming down the sidewalk toward the entrance where I was exiting. I was holding the door open for him, until I saw his shirt which said, "If you don't like tRump, you won't like me." I waited until he was about five feet from me, then closed the door, and said, "You're right!" and walked off. He was probably pissed off, but I didn't give a flying f about it, and still don't.

You think they are persuadable if 10 years of first hand observation hasn't already made them see the light?
That's an illogical expectation.

(71,276 posts)They have neither hearts nor minds. Refusing to engage with them at this point is not malicious or short-sighted. It's protective coloration. We want them to not be Trumpsters. They want us dead. That's the difference.
I am an unashamed peace-and-love, campfire, kum-bah-yah kind of liberal. But even I know when to stop being walked on and start letting them have a dose of their own medicine.
That does not work and can be dangerous.

(4,616 posts)voted for Тяцмp because they were inundated with lies and were fooled into thinking he would be better than a democrat at a few things he claimed he would do, and a cult member - who can be identified because they wear his garb and fly his flags. The former can often be made to understand the error of their ways. The latter are essentially hopeless. If you wear Тяцмp merch, it means you WANT people to know what you are, and perhaps even welcome the looks because it makes you feel superior. Thats too far gone in my opinion.

Ten years from now you'll be telling people he never fooled you and you never voted for him.

(28,431 posts)So, I think if someone approaches me to take a pic with my dog and that person is wearing a trump or maga hat I would say, of course but you must remove your hat...I don't want my dog to appear in a picture associated with that fool.
If he or she removes the hat, maybe we can have a conversation.
